Tinnitus is when a person experiences ringing sounds or other noises in one or both ears. Tinnitus itself is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom of some other underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, an ear injury, or a problem with the circulatory system. For many people, tinnitus improves with treatment of the underlying cause or with other treatments that reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable. Although there is not a "cure" for tinnitus, there are many ways to effectively treat and manage tinnitus, so that it's negative impact is reduced. Audiologists are specialists in tinnitus management and treatment.
